Having Fun With Baby Shower Invitations And Party Favors

Baby shower invitations and party favors are a fun way to start the party. When a guests receives the invitation for a baby shower they should immediately know everything they need to know about the party. If it is going to be a high class picnic luncheon, this should be reflected by the invitation. If it is going to be a silly co-ed party, this should also be reflected by the invitation. Get this part right, and half the job of creating the baby shower party atmosphere is done.

When picking out baby shower invitations and party favors look at the overall theme of the shower. It is a "It's a Boy" party or an "It's a Girl Party"? Will there be a diaper raffle? Will there be door prizes for guests who meet certain requirement? All of this should be obvious from the baby shower invitation. If there are door prizes, but that is not clear from the invite there will be guests who will be upset and perhaps even complain. Both families and everyone's friends should feel very welcome and encouraged to have a great time.

Mix up the colors a bit for the baby shower invitations and party favors to make it different. There are many unisex colors and for some even the soft pastels of baby party themes might be not their style. Baby showers can be anything the host wants them to be. Animal prints, bright colors, fun energy are all ok for modern baby showers. But it is a good idea to make sure the mother-to-be will enjoy the change. A baby shower should be about the new family so it is good to get their seal of approval before planning a crazy themed baby shower.

The baby shower invitations and party favors should be similar and match somehow. Baby shower favors should not just be a couple of chocolate pieces wrapped up and tied with a plastic pacifier. This is an outdated way to do baby shower favors. Instead think of something fun and modern to do. Perhaps small pictures of the sonogram or some fun memento of the new family coming into being would be a good favor for a baby shower.
